Process crash via malformed Opus packet header
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
A heap buffer over-read in GPAC MP4Box 2.4 allows attackers to crash the process by dumping a crafted MP4 file with malformed Opus data. The gf_opus_parse_packet_header function reads Opus packet header fields beyond a three-byte Media_GetSample buffer after failing to validate an invalid TOC code 3 length. Processing the file through an Opus-dump path requires user interaction but no authentication or special privileges; the demonstrated consequence is a process crash.
